Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford compared to Dennis Bergkamp after Arsenal defeat

Former Leeds United youngster David Seaman has heaped praise on Patrick Bamford for his performance against Arsenal. The former Gunners shot stopper likened the Whites striker to Dennis Bergkamp for his ability to do the dirty side of the game, despite being a 'Mr. Nice Guy.'

Speaking to Seaman Says, the former Arsenal shot stopper said: "As soon as he came on they looked totally different. Obviously they've missed him a lot when you look at the difference when he came on like that.

"He's one of those guys that looks like a nice quiet guy but he's a bit like Dennis Bergkamp - everyone thought he was Mr. Nice Guy but on the pitch they can look after themselves. Dennis was the same he'd stick his elbow in and make the defenders really cry and that's what Bamford does.
